Description:
This sessions discusses the Ziraat Bank data center program in Turkey. A brand new data center building implements various technologies including VMAX and VPLEX systems. Ziraat Bank is Turkey's largest bank. The data migration project is planned for completion on June 15. With online services available to all customers, systems are interrupt sensitive. This data migration project involves over 3,000 virtual servers that must be migrated without any interruption. At Ziraat Bank, we have chosen VMware vMotion. We nearly finished half of the migration without any interruption, and we hope for a 100 percent successful completion.

Description:
This session will provide a technical in depth review of how a real world large scale enterprise customer successfully designed and built a highly scalable hybrid cloud environment with the capability to scale up to 40,000 workloads in a short period of 24 months. We will discuss the various design approaches being considered (Scale up vs Scale-out) and what approach worked best for our customers and why.
We will also cover the migration strategy and approach our customer followed to bring their critical business application workloads to the newly built hybrid cloud environment with minimum disruption to their business operations. Session will address the various tradeoffs of building a massive scale environments using hybrid cloud and how to overcome the associated challenges and risks using an architectural design approach.

Description:
In this session, speakers will guide you through some of the most common VMware vSAN network configurations. We will cover topics such as the pros and cons of certain NIC teaming options, supported network topologies, L2 versus L3, witness traffic separation, two-node ROBO deployments, stretched cluster deployments, and, most importantly, "gotchas" related to networking in vSAN deployments.

A Real Strategy for SDDC Capacity Management: A Perspective Across Technology, People, and Processes (PBO2595BE)

Description:
Your SDDC environment is ready to use, all the components including the management tools have been installed and the different services offerings have been configured and tested. You are ready to go live!
You think about capacity and you are sure you have nothing to worry about. You have plenty of available capacity.
The doors open for business and orders start to pour in. It’s not long before you realize that you didn’t understand the demand from the business. You might run out of capacity much sooner than expected, after all you are not Amazon with unlimited resources.
In this session, you will get pragmatic guidance for establishing a capacity management process, including how to enable vROPs to help you manage your capacity.

Accelerate the Hybrid Cloud with VMware Cloud on AWS (LHC1403BER)

Description:
VMware Cloud on AWS brings enterprise-class VMware software-defined data center software to the AWS cloud, and enables customers to run production applications across VMware vSphere based private, public, and hybrid cloud environments. VMware Cloud on AWS is delivered, sold, and supported by VMware as an on-demand service. It enables customers to leverage the full range of AWS, including storage, databases, analytics, and more. With the same architecture and operational experience on-premises and in the cloud, IT teams can now quickly derive instant business value from the AWS and VMware hybrid cloud experience.

Description:
VMware NSX is the key enabler to driving customers towards Software Defined Networking (SDN). In this session, we will provide an overview of the Faction Cloud Composer solution, a comprehensive solution developed by Faction to help you achieve true data mobility between Faction Services, customer premise or co-location and other cloud providers such as Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure.
Specifically, this solution will help you:
Simplify connecting your hybrid-cloud environment to hyper-scale cloud providers in a secure fashion, enable Faction customers to efficiently utilize burst workloads between clouds while minimizing bandwidth and data charges, and allows customers to maintain data between clouds on a non-proprietary storage system giving customers true flexibility when making their Cloud Provider decisions.

Description:
A major focus for VMware Cloud Foundation is the automation of the deployment and maintenance of the backend infrastructure for the VMware Horizon virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). This session covers the built-in automation of the deployment of VMware vSphere, VMware NSX, VMware vSAN, VMware vRealize, and VMware Horizon components that VMware Cloud Foundation offers. It will also describe the integration of VMware App Volumes in this infrastructure and the ability to dynamically build this infrastructure with the growth of your desktops, resulting in turnkey VDI deployment. All you need to bring are the desktop images.

Best Practices for All-Flash Arrays with VMware vSphere (SER2355BE)

Description:
All-flash arrays are now commonplace in today's data centers, and understanding how to configure and manage VMware vSphere to take advantage of them, in both performance and capacity, is critical. The concept of all-flash and, in particular data reduction, changes how some traditional options inside of VMware ESXi should be considered. Topics such as queuing, space reclamation, Storage I/O Control, VMware vSphere Storage DRS, VMware vSphere VMFS 6, virtual disk choice, multipathing, quality of service, and more will discussed.

Build VMware Powered Hybrid Clouds: See How vCloud Director and NSX work together to build true Hybrid Clouds (LHC2626BE)

Description:
As a Cloud Service Provider, its imperial to have a platform that let you deliver Hybrid Clouds that make efficient use of your datacenter resources as well as offer multiple ways to deliver Hybrid channels to workloads in the cloud.
VMware vCloud Director Solution helps to enable the delivery of cloud services that make efficient use of your datacenter, at the same time, it works with VMware NSX to deliver efficient, multi-tenant networking services that enable Hybrid paths to Cloud. vCD works with NSX to create Hybrid extension points seamlessly and securely. The session will go over various methods of enabling hybrid connectivity. Showcase how private vLANS/VxLANs from on prem VMware vSphere environments can be easily extended into virtual datacenters in your Cloud backed by VMware vSphere or VMware vCloud Director.

Building a TCO Story to Accelerate vSAN Adoption (STO2886BE)

Description:
As HCI becomes mainstream, IT departments need to demonstrate the advantages of adopting vSAN to address their storage needs. A critical component is building a simple, accurate and realistic Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) story. vSAN’s 7,000+ customers have successfully done so, and now VMware has made it even easier for you to tell your story!
With a portfolio of new and enhanced tools, you can quickly run an enhanced vSAN assessment to highlight where vSAN would be most beneficial, use the new vSAN Sizer to size your environment and build a TCO analysis to understand savings over a period of time. Join us to walk through the TCO journey and watch these tools in action. Who doesn’t love demos anyway?
